I'm *probably* going to keep reading till the end solely because after over 200 chapters, I'd have a pretty annoying feel to drop it without knowing the full story.
That being said, this story enjoyed a pretty interesting beginning: A guy who gets forcefully isekai'd to a dystopian no-man only female world where women only live to their late teens. Now, I'm not really someone who gives a shit about age in media I consume so if you're thinking the age turned me off, nah, that was all good. Mysterious beasts and witches that no one else but MC could beat, not because MC is super
...
OP or anything, but because for some reason most of the monsters in this world exist in games he's played before and share weaknesses from his world's fiction. The women are all powerful combatants and don't feel useless, there was distinctive plot, which seemed like it just existed at first but after the guy died and got brought back to his own world, where it is revealed he lived after being thrown out a building the first time and is just hospitalized, sure started to seriously rouse my interest. He barely gets to feel it for long though, as the same being who tossed him out the first time returns. Clearly, there is some motive. Clearly, there is some meaning to this world traversal.
The witch hunt in general takes too long for my liking, but it had its moments, and even better, by the end we do see more of the story, why it had to be the MC, how the world relates to him, what caused it, everything....
and yet, the resolution is something that is just taking far too long.
I knew there would be a lot of sex in a series where his mere touch can make girls super horny and orgasm, but I wasn't expecting multiple times with over 5 chapters of pure sex in a row. Sure it makes sense that they want to fuck him given their curse to die young ends once fucked, but the pacing is just so slow.... I find myself forgetting plot points at times till it is brought up again just because while in terms of story, it was pretty recent, there were just so many chapters of sex in between that by the end it feels like an ancient memory.
I just wish the story throws the sex off the series at this point so the story can actually see some progress.
TLDR: Decent character design/art, good story in the moments the story actually exists, far too many sex scenes to the point I find even some of the really long, sex-filled barely progressing hentai has better pacing.

This is a hard one to even read...
The MC is so incredibly inconsistent that it doesn't even feel like the same character.
People dog on School Days for horndog MC who just bangs everyone but goddamn, this MC makes Makoto Itou look like a philosopher.
Atleast there the characters made sense, as terrible as they were.
Hard to find much of that here.
One chapter he says he loves one girl, next chapter he decides he loves the other. Only to go back to the other girl in the next chapter and say he "Still" loves her.
Only to then leave her as he fucks off to go
...
meet the other girl next chapter. I don't think even the writer of this series knows what they're doing.
Art: 7/10, Fairly good. Nothing too special
Characters: 2/10
The MC's inconsistency is terrible. The childhood friend changing her mind that fast is also terrible. Most of it is terrible.
Story: 5/10
Classic story with the two main love interests having a big impact on his past related to one event in very different ways. Don't see where this chaotic mess is going though.
Overall: 4/10
Deserves no higher unless you're able to enjoy how bad it is like I did with Kannazuki no Miko, but this doesn't even have the odd funny charm to it to do such a thing.

I must say, even as someone tolerant to bullshit and more than occasional lack of logic, this is some true senseless bullshit.
Rein comes from an unnaturally OP village that got wiped out, sure. No issues with that.
He doesn't know he's OP, acceptable. Beast tamers probably get shunned everywhere so most don't speak openly of their abilities, and Rein's village had everyone at monster tier so he truly believed he was average. That will do.
Rein doesn't even know he gets the abilities of the creatures he contracts, fine. I'll let it slide.
So, Cat Spirits have evolved to have athletic prowess that makes them capable of being
...
classified as an ultimate species... but they have no magic.
Meanwhile Tania, a dragon/dragonoid, has enough fighting power to overwhelm a Cat Spirit, while also having the second highest magical ability of all. Sure makes the Cat Spirit seem useless. I thought I'd chalk it up to Kanade not being trained to fight, but Rein has her powers too and does know to fight, yet both of them together still couldn't do anything to Tania.
Bit strange to make Episode 1 girl seem completely irrelevant by Episode 3, but whatever.
Somehow Rein keeps bringing up the physical boost he gets from Kanade and the magical from Tania, completely not accounting for Tania's insane physical prowess too, which should have made him stronger than both of them already.
The Hero's party is the usual annoying shit kind, but I can understand picking a fight if you didn't know you were fighting the Ultimates.
You fools seriously immediately noticed they were a Cat Spirit and a Dragonoid, beings you yourselves call the Ultimate species, and... carelessly challenge them? I know these guys are stupid, annoying, and useless, but this is just pushing it.
Atleast you could plan to have your tank fight the Magical one and leave the Cat Spirit to your mages, but you try fighting a being known for strength with strength, and the second strongest magical species with magic. Genius. How anyone expected it to work is beyond me.
They run away from a band of bandits yet think they can stand a chance against a dragon? The least you could have done is simply make them not know they were the ultimate species...
Usually these stories have the trash heroes realize the true importance of the MC and either do a heelturn, or wallow, or turn evil for power or some shit. All of the above is better than these geniuses. "Ah crap we can't scout easily without Rein." "Ah we need him to carry things"
Then they get the plan to bring him back by calling him useless, which is fine, but "Once we clear the Lost Woods, we'll abandon him again".
Are you not going to eventually fight the Demon King? You speak as if your journey ends after Lost Woods, or somehow you magically never need to carry anything again. Realizing you need him back and plotting to do so is natural, but what the hell makes you plot to kick him out near immediately after too? Brain-dead.
"Orcs are E rank monsters, and they aren't physically much stronger than Goblins. But orcs are much smarter". Strange, most stories use Orcs as a more physical species, not mental, but alright. It's just a fantasy species, do what you want to it.
So orcs are physically near GOBLIN tier, fucking GOBLINS, yet they're able to trip up Tania, scare her and she needs saving by Rein? What sort of bloody ultimate species loses to a couple of goddamn orcs? This is an insult to the term Ultimate.
In the first place, Tania should have a body that has immense defense, if not, even blocking Kanade's hits which one shotted the Tiger should have caused broken bones, injuries or something. No random weapon should do shit. Yet somehow a knife was supposed to cut through her to the point Rein needs to save her and take the blow instead?
I call bullshit. Atleast the Cat Spirit was hungry when facing the Tiger, Tania was at her best here dammit.
Episode 1 had Rein's knife break on contact with a D rank Tiger. D. D rank monsters can do that, yet a DRAGONOID, an Ultimate species, cannot? The fuck is this show. Atleast if it was an Ultimate species rabbit with infinite luck or some shit I understand the lack of defense, but this is a dragonic being we are talking about.
Also Tania later the same episode: "Might be time to buy new equipment."
Alright, makes sense. You almost got hurt, Rein got hurt for you, you're now considering being more prudent yourself.
"As ultimate species, we don't need any ourselves, but Rein, you're still a human."
Well guess not then. You seem to confirm again that you wouldn't have gotten hurt, so why the hell were you so scared? Scared OP Characters exist, but you're a character who challenged everyone who ever tried to use a bridge and beat everyone up. You getting scared like this is strange.
I didn't come here expecting gold standard writing, I was expecting random shit which I would watch for the hot Tania.
But this level of retardation in story design is so apalling that I don't even care about the sex appeal I started this for, this is just downright terrible.
My rating? 2/10.
Tania atleast looks good enough for me to amp it up from a 1 to a 2.

Summertime Rendering... 3/10.
This anime always felt like it was getting too much praise, but I was willing to ignore that and wait for the plot to get good.
I will admit that this story definitely has its moments, a few really well made ideas.... But they're too few, and the rest is a mess.
There are a few truly good episodes, many bearable ones and some outright retarded ones.
The final episode in particular is the worst I've ever seen.
If I had to rate the anime without the final episode, I would probably give it a 7. Maybe a low chance of 8 even. The concept of shadows
...
is decent, the powers are interesting, and their necessary applications in some moments, like to get to the Shadows' hideouts, made it feel well thought out and would explain why no one else found this shit before a few kids.
But the final episode serves to do nothing but invalidate the entire plot. get rid of all purpose and end with a strange happy ending that even by the plot, should not be possible at all. At the end of this final episode, even a 3 feels high.
Spoilers:
The show can't decide on many things. Due to Ushio's looping working different from the rest, one loop suddenly has them realize two of her can exist in a single loop. Seems contrived enough on it's own, but then why have they never thought to utilize a double Ushio? Only getting this idea when their Ushio is gone is stupid.
The show acts like it is a very intellectual game between smart villains and the smart Ajiro Shinpei, but they're all retards.
Our Saviour Shinpei? He sees Mio fail to stop her cycle and fall into the water in multiple loops. She never gets hurt, just wet.
But ofcourse since he's so smart, he has to try to stop the cycle. Didn't even try to catch her and save just her or something. Straight up stands in front of the cycle. This guy is dumb as shit.
Then the villain, Shide, and the Shadow source, Haine/Hiruko... Only serve to push plot further. In one episode when Ushio is dead, Haine runs away from Shinpei TWICE, once even when Shide was around, just because she could "Feel Ushio's anger from the pendant of memories" and felt threatened. You... got rid of her in a previous loop, and now you're too scared of her remnants? Really?
Also, once they revive the new Ushio with Pendant of memories, Shide and Haine wait for Ushio to attack them due to having a way to kill Ushio with ease.
If you can kill her so easily when she returns by your "Genius plan/power", then why in the hell were you running away from a goddamn pendant. No reason but to keep Shinpei alive ofcourse.
And as if the final episode was already not bad enough, they had to add Shinpei's retarded "Stop cycle with my body" tactic to it too.
This is supposed to be the smart guy, the observer of the show? Trash.
The final episode makes no sense either. Hizuru does not seem to remember or have had the dream. Ryuunosuke probably didn't either. So why does he have a daughter named Haine? Haine lived 300 years ago so they would never meet anyway. Karikiri too is a 300 year old. He should be dead by now, not an old man.
Nothing but plot holes everywhere to make an unnaturally extremely happy ending with no deaths or losses. Kills the feeling of the show having any purpose at all.
There are ways to do time travel/loop stories really well. And this anime definitely does not do a thing in that regard.

I want to Quit Heroing...
I really like Echidna's design. Cute as hell. The second ED is nice too.
I like how it is essentially office-life advice, with him constantly showing the generals how to understand their employees. Helps a new employee learn about leader types too.
treat them better, rely on them, etc. As someone new to corporate life myself, this was decent enough. Not game-breakingly top tier or anything. but passable.
Echidna really gets to shine near the ending, love her characterization.
Normally. I prefer faster paced stories to those that drag the same concepts on to eternity, but this is just not something this show did well.
My
...
early expectation of office assistance went down the drain when he only helps every person once in the show and then he goes into his own shit plan.
... I have so many questions about his plan.
He's killed demon lords for a long time, and beat her generals and the current Queen already, why did he even think they could beat him...?
Even worse so when he didn't really have any clue about the Anti-Leo spell, and he already tanks her fireballs without care, so I don't get why he thinks for a moment she can kill him.
His plan mostly looked like stupidly killing/near killing everyone instead of "suicide" as he calls it.
He already turned off "Protect humanity" when he literally remade the bioweapon series to kill humans, I don't get how he didn't notice that over many years. For a while atleast, sure. But if he was as horrified and guilt ridden about it as he looked, he should have thought of it enough to know. This is just stupid.
Leo comes off more as a retard than a conflicted being.
Also holy fuck that eye to eye communication in episode 11 was hilariously long.
With that out of the way, I'd still say that overall, it was an enjoyable anime.
The theme of "What comes next after I'm done being the hero?" is something I have seen in a few LN summaries, but nothing I actually read, and not really in anime before either.
I would say they had a great theme, but far from the best execution when it came to Leo himself. Echidna really carried the ending, made it worthwhile.
7.5/10.

This show...
Is bad. But not for the reasons many reviews mention, though some reviews are fine.
So I've been keeping tabs on the reviews for it since the beginning, and honestly, most felt overly against the show.
Those talking about how the show is literally just endless sexual assault and rape and Arc saves the day, which I felt was disservice given there have only been like 2-3 episodes so far...
Sure it wasn't the best beginning, but a story has to start somewhere. Does it matter if the beginning theme seems excessive? Not to me. I'd wait and give this show a chance.
However 10 episodes pass
...
and I see that they're not really wrong... The plot is always selling other races as slaves or for sex. There is that one elf in one town who lived there for 10 years and likes the town and is treated well, and that one elf marrying into royalty, but even I would say they mostly felt shoehorned in just so people won't go "Holy fuck this story literally has nothing else to it...", only barely ever touched upon.
Those talking about Arc having no questions or wanting to go back home once isekai'd, I refuse to agree with. To get into a fantastical world like that, I'd totally let my thoughts of my own world rot in hell too. I wouldn't find our world something to fondly look back to or want to return.
I will agree in that Arc is terribly bland. Even for a MC Happy to be in a new world of a game he plays, this guy doesn't have any motive or desires at all. Which I'm fine with if it manages to explore any themes properly, which is also something this anime fails to do at all.
The plot gets excessively stupid with the last two episodes, as another guy points out.
Leaves a sleeping/fainted Ariane to herself as he fights, bad move.
Doesn't teleport to her when he sees the monster, why.
Has the ninja girl show up to save her, okay, this is fine. She is a recurring character/teammate anyway.
Arc looks like he'd have trouble with the monster horde, her clan shows up to kill all the monsters. Why? he can easily destroy everything with his magic.
The clan proceeds to kill all monsters and fuck off into non-existence, not even trying to sop or apprehend the monster tamer.
Place is crumbling, Arc proceeds to let the guy get away instead of a quick Move Point slash to kill him.
SOMEHOW that guy had the time to escape from the place, but Arc didn't have enough to simply teleport behind him and slash him once...? Giving him teleportation was a mistake.
Given his shield can tank hydra magic and his body armor can tank being bitten by it too, this guy could rape all the monsters alone. Why bring the ninja army for no reason...?
Hell even if he got busy fighting and couldn't protect Ariane, he can just use his revive spells again to bring her back to life. There is literally no threat at all.
World building is piss poor too.
There are mentions of a treaty which if broken might mean elves stop supplying Magical equipment and rune stones. Seems Elves have a lot of good shit. Yet, they get kidnapped for sex and slavery alone...? Not one person trying to find out the secrets of the rune stones? Not one trying to torture for the location of a Magical equipment factory, or the know-how? Seriously?
I've read way better stories which shows other races suffering for a myriad of reasons, be it to abuse their powers, their knowledge, history, artifacts, connections, revenge for the past, classic species/race discrimination, sex, manpower, whatever, not just one single minded lunacy like in this story. We don't even see them used as manpower here, they're supposedly sold as slaves and we see male captives too, but we literally do not see them EVER go anywhere or be used in any way. Sex is all the humans in this world know, apparently.. Even worse when the elves actually have some important shit.
The one smart seeming thing I've seen in this anime is Arc looking through the keyhole to use Move Point to teleport in instead of using his strength to break the door and cause a commotion. Fights in this anime are also generally boring as hell.
Now, Pros-
Ariane is hot I guess, but even here I'd go with Echidna from Yuusha Yamemasu instead atleast.
For what it's worth, the OP felt pretty extra and fun.
ED isn't bad either.
Otto Apocalyse's VA for the other Kingdom's emperor, a personal treat.
That's about it.

Nihonbashi Koukashita R Keikaku..
It has the most random things one normally will never do, strewn as short clips of animation. Surprisingly enticing.
It isn't truly amazing by any means, but it IS just a minute long, and for what it's worth, for that minute it had me looking forward to what strange random concoctions they'd show next. Something I can't say for extremely short clips that try to make me invested in a character, or to get me to care, but.... Is one minute really enough to truly care? It may be possible, but it certainly isn't a smart idea. Random chaos works much better.
I guess
...
that's good enough to say this did well... for what it is.
Art:10
Animation:10
Story:???
Sound: Hmmm, an 8/10 I guess
Enjoyment: 9
Overall: 9
Can't complain

I'd have liked to give it a more conclusive, objective review, but it has been a really long time since I read it. All I remember for sure is loving it and coming to MAL to give it a 10, and seeing that it didn't exist here at the time.
"hm... I'm too perfect..? Welp, Guess I'll become a caterpillar"
This story sounds like one of those random meme-level Manga out there that we find now and then, but I assure you, the story was top-notch, especially for its short size.
A small story, yet one that got me super invested into all the characters. The mangaka didn't
...
make the mistake of making any character to be... hm, the "positive one", "always good" forever, like many do. We get to see all of the important characters at both their best and their worst, growing, learning, regretting... Living.
8 Chapters, what do you have to lose? Go on, pick it up and give it a read.

Hmm... Took me a while to rate it, since I'm just so conflicted over it.
The invisibility idea is great, and its execution had me thoroughly interested, but the main characters... ugh.
Story: 8/10.
I guess I'd have given it a 10 if not for the ending, just felt distasteful. Still gets an 8 for concept atleast.
Art: 10/10.
It is pretty basic, but it just felt perfect for this kind of story.
Character: 4/10.
Ahhh, the part where it went wrong. At first I liked the dynamic between them, but it got annoying really quickly. The girl literally never tries to even SPEAK to the guy, and this dumbass of a
...
guy just keeps, KEEPS going to her to initiate everything. I'm fine with that much, some people just don't do much on their own. Fair. But then this bitch keeps refusing. YEESH That is seriously annoying. I'm quite surprised MC never flipped her off. It fits the premise, sure, and adds to the fun sometimes. But her level is simply too shitty.
Here's a few particularly annoying examples:
1. She makes cookies for him, can't tell him, starts remarking how they are SO tasty, but she can't finish them herself. MC picks up on her hint and asks for some, since she has so many. She proceeds to eat all the cookies and say "Too bad, no leftovers for you".
...
...
Why.
And this guy is so desperate to make her happy he eats the single lone cookie that fell off when she ate. 10/10 character building.
And *SPOILERS here*
Another infuriating aspect is she laments their awkward state she caused in the past when someone joked of them dating, she said she only spoke to him out of pity, and there's no way she'd date him. Ouch, okay, bad enough, but fine, maybe she'll grow and correct her mistake...? right? NOPE. In the second last chapter, someone says it again, and yet again, she says she can't stand him, and there's no way she'd date him... Girl, I thought you regretted saying ti before deeply. How do you say it again by reflex... Atleast I hoped she'd apologize, or the guy would tell her he knows her true feelings, tells her to be honest, or SOMETHING, but nah he just tells her he likes her. Till the end, she does nothing while he does enough to drive any sane person to kick her out of their lives.
There's good ones with a theme of not progressing the relationship themselves, like Kaguya-Sama. Both love each other and never say it, but atleast they try to make plans to get the other one say it. That was fun. This.... I'd have given it a 1 if not for the superbly fun invisibility.
Enjoyment: 9/10.
Through all its faults, I can't deny enjoying the invisible moments to madness. Easy 10 if not for the characters themselves...
Overall: 8/10
Still worth a read. If you can tolerate the girl, this would be a great manga for sure. Even if you can't, I'd say its still somewhat worth finishing, though it did leave a sour taste in the end.

I've always been curious about the "alternate" ways healing magic could be used, but really, some are way too much of a damn meme. Some crap about "Healing the world" as a means to revert time or time travel? That is absolute bullshit, and a huge turn-off. This one, on the other hand, feels like just what I'd imagine as a way to use healing magic for oneself. Feels near perfect in that regard.
It did start off in the more generic aspect, but it sure evolved into its own thing soon. Sure, still got an overpowered protagonist, but the way it is executed here has
...
an actual charm to it.
The other Heroes haven't really been given much of a backstory yet, but they still bond well with Usato, and the rest of the cast from the Isekai world is pretty damn well done. The reactions of the people around makes sense, the comedic value feels just done well enough(Although that is a bit subjective and it might already be a tad overdone for some of you), it's sentimental, has beliefs that gel well with how the world works, and how he's perceived...
Overall, a solid read, really.
Story:9/10
Eh, it gets by. Feels like a more slow paced manga, but that's why it gets the time to showcase its own unique pros.
Art:7/10
Not particularly appealing, but not bad enough to be a turn-off.
Character:9/10
All the characters are portrayed as realistically as they possibly can be given this story, and the progression is done well.
Enjoyment:10/10
Clearly worthy. The transition from a serious, touching moment to something hilarious is always a fun sight.
Overall:10/10
Worthy of a read.
